High Transaction Value

The Cost of Time and Effort

Rivky Shimon
This is a really great time to take charge and start building your own business. Franchise opportunities are giving everyone a chance to be an entrepreneur and own their own piece of the pie. First, consider your strengths and your interests. Then, find the business that fits what you want out of life. But, make sure that the business you choose allows you to maximize your income potential through your time and effort.

The equation is easy. First, consider minimum wage and then think of all the job opportunities that work a person very hard for just that. A laborer on a construction site might make a little more than minimum wage on his way up to becoming a foreman. He'll break his back at least twice a day and run his knees into the ground before he reaches middle age. But until he gains greater skills and becomes more of an asset to his company, he'll still be literally killing himself for such a small wage.

Compare that to the person who can virtually put a company on autopilot and then walk away from it for hours at a time while still getting paid. That's called maximizing your income potential through very little time or effort. Most people find such opportunities on the internet. When you plug yourself into the right system, it is possible to make money while you sleep like most internet business ideas promise.

But when I think of time and effort, I think of a business that I can not only enjoy having, but be proud of running. That's why I absolutely love my art workshop. My art workshops allow me to teach art to others. The workshops are enjoyable. My clients are practically my friends and they bring in new clients with them all the time because of the relationship we have created. I am maximizing my time and effort and enjoying what I am doing in the process.

One class of mine can last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Placing several students in my class maximizes my income potential for that period of time. Having several classes a week multiplies that income potential exponentially. Training some of my students to run workshops of their own and I'm pretty much putting my business opportunity on autopilot while maintaining my income potential. Now, I can pick and choose the workshops I want to run while allowing others to run workshops of their own. It fits the high transaction value model, plus it gets me off of the internet and back into life where the real things happen.

Art has so many benefits that it provides for others. It's like giving something to the community even though it's a business opportunity. You get to be the hero, when all you initially were trying to do was find a viable franchise. That's why I love my art workshops so much!
